    I own a model s with free supercharging. But I did rent a model 3 and paid for supercharging which is about the same price as gas. So you may not save much on road trips. Charging at home is where you save the most.

    • @SofieAndStephen
      @SofieAndStephen  ปีที่แล้ว

      Agreed. I haven't had to use a supercharger yet but have seen videos of owners saying that it's the same cost as gas. I charge at home with my wall connector and that makes it so convenient and cost effective.

    Is it normal to do your own PDI on a Tesla? I figured at least it would be PDI'd, washed and 100% charged upon delivery. I know nothing about the Tesla delivery experience.

    • @SofieAndStephen
      @SofieAndStephen  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, it is important that you perform your own PDI when you pick up the car. Tesla allegedly inspects every car before delivering to the customer but nobody is going to be more meticulous than the person taking ownership of the car. Tesla has had some quality issues in the past, but my car was absolutely fine.
      I'm not 100% sure if my car was washed before delivery, but it was clean when I picked it up. There was, however, one black scuff on the driver's seat that I easily wiped off with my finger. Most likely from an employee moving the car.
      My car was not 100% charged upon delivery. My car was at 75%, which was fine. It was enough charge for me to drive an hour back home.

      @SofieAndStephen  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Bonjour et merci d'avoir regardé. Oui, nous aimons l'intérieur blanc. Il a l'air si propre et futuriste. De nombreux propriétaires de Tesla disent que le simple fait d'essuyer les sièges une fois par semaine environ aidera à garder les sièges propres. Beaucoup de gens disent qu'ils ont leurs sièges blancs depuis quelques années et qu'ils ont toujours l'air neufs. Si nous avions des animaux domestiques ou des enfants, je réfléchirais probablement à deux fois avant d'avoir des sièges blancs. Mais pour l'instant, nous profitons des sièges blancs.
      Hello and thanks for watching. Yes we love the white interior. It looks so clean and futuristic. Many Tesla owners say that simply wiping the seats down once every week or so will help keep the seats clean. Many people say they've had their white seats for a couple years and they still look brand new. If we had pets or kids, I would probably think twice about having white seats. But for now, we are enjoying the white seats.

    Does it actually specifically say the tax credit is only till march 1st? It’s still being advertised and I’m sure it’ll be around for years but they might lower it to say 6,000 or so. But I heard you can redeem the same tax credit if you buy an EV every 3 years until the govt deems that the country has enough EVs on the road.

    • @SofieAndStephen

      When I initially filmed the vlog, I had heard many say that you had to receive delivery of the car by end of March in order to receive the credit. However, now I hear differently from many sources saying exactly what you've just stated. The tax credit is still being advertised, which leads me to believe that you don't have to receive the car by end of March to receive the credit.

    • @SofieAndStephen
      @SofieAndStephen  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I like the wheels, the rims, the spoiler, and the speed of the Performance model. Those reasons alone are why I decided to get the Performance over the base RWD model. Whether or not it's worth the difference in money is subjective though. I like to think that it's worth it. I don't regret it, that's for sure.

  • @JP22488
    @JP22488 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you charge to 100% because it has the new batteries or 90% because it’s AWD. The manual says both. I think 90% is for the regenerative braking but I could be wrong.

    • @SofieAndStephen
      @SofieAndStephen  ปีที่แล้ว

      Don't quote me on this but I believe only the RWD has the new batteries that allow for 100% charging without any battery longevity degradation.
      I charge my car to 80% usually. If I am going out of town or know I will be driving for extended periods of time in one day, I will charge the car to 90%-95%. But I never charge to 100%. For my Model 3 Performance AWD, it's not good for the battery long term. Also if you charge to 100%, you lose regenerative braking until the battery percentage comes back down a bit.

However, you can switch the car to Creep, which will mimic how an automatic transmission car would drive how it rolls when you have your foot off the brake.
